Orienteering 1:08:10 [3] 5.37 km (12:42 / km)
shoes: Black Inov8 X-Talons
Scottish 6-Days - Day 4
Completely clean the entire way round, just not much energy. Also quite rough terrain, and tricky sections, especially at the start, so going slow was maybe a good shout. Anyway pretty much just jogged/walked it all. Only had 3 counting days this year anyway

BELLADRUM!!! So so good!! Definitely the right decision to choose this over the last 2 days of the 6-days. Nice to be home and in my own bed at the end of it though. Time for a good rest

(rest day)
Hopefully 2 days rest will sort me out. Also, a bit bored of orienteering, especially in this terrain, so myself a ticket for Belladrum music festival which starts Thursday

Scottish 6-Days - Day 2
Raced the first half, jogged/walked the second half. Feeling pretty ill and didn't want to make it any worse. 1 mistake at no.3 where I just got confused coming into the control. Caught by Alice at no.16, so raced her down the hill for the last couple of controls

Scottish 6-Days - Day 1
Been feeling slightly ill since the last race in Sweden. Did't have much in my legs, so some of my routechoices reflected this. Only 1 mistake at no.7. Think I was getting tired and wanting it to be over. So so different to everything I have been running on in the last 2 months, but good to be back!

O-Ringen Day 5 (Chase)
Was 7th at the beginning of this (meant I had a new bib) and was really excited. Had one girl about 2 mins ahead, and another ~4mins behind. Meant i knew I was probably going to be racing on my own.
Surprisingly, I was my 2 min girl going out of no.2 as I was going in, so pushed to try catch her properly, but never saw her again. This was annoying as it meant I never got any help for number 4 (long leg into a point feature in a vague hillside...). Thought I was in control coming in to it, and knew where to expect it, but then just wasn't where I thought at all. Really really struggled to relocate so was wondering around a lot before I eventuallt found it. Lost about 17minutes, and all of my motivation. Then went to 6 before 5 (short leg tbf...). Really had little motivation left, so ended up pretty much just jogging around. Lost another 5 minutes at no.9 which annoyed me again. Happy to be finished in the end, but gutted that everything fell apart in the last race, and my last run in my Scandi summer
